In a region of southern Italy that is known as Calabria, far south of Naples, there is a remote town by the name of Ardore. It’s history dates back to ancient Greece; and, in over 2,800 years,... More > a succession of conquerors did little to improve the lives of its people.
In the mid-1600’s, Antonio Bova saw the sale of the town as a feudal estate with an absentee landlord. By the mid-1700’s his family had grown and acquired productive agricultural lands.

Arciprete Giuseppe Bova rose to a leading role in the town as pastor of the “mother church” and eventually became a bishop. And, Joseph Pasquale Bova was one of the earliest of the massive wave of Italian immigrants that came to America.
We explore the experiences of seven generations of the Bova Family and learn how their lives were impacted by the history of Ardore and that of Italy.< Less

Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov published in 1969.
Ada began to materialize in 1959, when Nabokov was flirting with two projects: "The Texture of Time" and... More > "Letters from Terra." In 1965, he began to see a link between the two ideas, finally composing a unified novel from February 1966 to October 1968. The published cumulation would become his longest work. Ada was initially given a mixed reception. But, writing in the New York Times Book Review, noted scholar Alfred Appel called it "a great work of art, a necessary book, radiant and rapturous" and said that it "provides further evidence that he is a peer of Kafka, Proust and Joyce."< Less
